I'd like to post to 4chan using my PowerBook 15" Aluminum w/ 2GB RAM and SSD running Leopard. I have the latest AquaFox and Interweb PPC rolling release 4, but neither can load the 4chan captcha. Any suggestions?

@Ryan Bremer and others have been doing some terrific work generating Polyfill Greasemonkey userscripts. From what I understand Ryan is still taking requests for websites which currently don't work, so it may be worthwhile posting here:


For those who may be unfamiliar, userscripts are files / scripts (written in Javascript) which run in an Aquafox/etc. extension called Greasemonkey and alter the content of a webpage. The Polyfill userscripts specifically work by providing workaround patch(es) to implement the missing Javascript features not available in Aquafox/Interweb/TFF but needed to load the website.

As well, in that same thread, @Ryan Bremer provides some very useful instructions for generating your own Polyfill scripts. I've quoted the post below for ease of reference in case anyone reading this post may be interested:

fun fact: it's easy to make a userscript like i do!
steps:
1. go to a desired website (or use a website feature) that doesnt work in tenfourfox/iwppc
2. if a website/feature doesnt work, go to browser console and check for example ReferenceError: AbortController is not defined
3. go to npmjs.com and find a polyfill for the javascript function that is missing
4. once you found it, go to unpkg.com/<package name>, such as https://unpkg.com/@ungap/custom-elements
5. create a userscript then put the contents of that polyfill inside it
6. save the userscript (cmd+s), then reload the page and see if the affected website/function works now
7. if it doesn't work, go back to npmjs and search other polyfills for the same javascript function
8. good luck!

Man I haven't been to 4chan in forever. The times I have gone on there I've never been greeted with a captcha. The website looks just like it presumably did in 2004. Of all places, I'm surprised it doesn't work on the browsers we have.
